Vince Young Cited for Assault After Strip Club Altercation

Vince Young's comeback story last season -- while overshadowed by Tom Brady winning the actual comeback award -- was nothing short of special. The former college national champ and standout Longhorn, having lost his starting gig with the Titans to the seemingly ageless Kerry Collins, won the spot back and led the Titans to a stunning near-berth in the playoffs and an amazing second half of the season.

Young, who also reportedly dealt with some very serious mental health issues, seemed poised to reclaim a spot as a top NFL quarterback heading into the 2010 season.

But now there's news that he received a misdemeanor assault citation after getting into a fight at a Dallas strip club and leaving before authorities arrived early Sunday, according to police. No arrests have been made.

Update: Young Reportedly Provoked by Texas Longhorns Snub

Surveillance video footage released by police showed the former University of Texas star and several people talking in a small room before Young attacked someone in the room. Others tried to break up the fight.

Young wasn't at Club Onyx when police responded to a call about the fight, said Dallas police Lt. Andy Harvey.

Harvey said an investigation led to Young receiving a Class C assault citation, punishable by a fine up to $500.

Team spokesman Robbie Bohren told The Associated Press that the Titans were made aware of the incident and had contacted Young, but they're still in the process of gathering information.

ShareRegardless of how this turns out, it's yet another case of an athlete visiting a strip club and then landing in some sort of trouble. It doesn't take a fortune teller to expect the NFL to be less than thrilled about the situation as it unfolds, even if it turns out that Young is completely absolved of any wrongdoing.

In a tweet Sunday night, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said "we will look into it."
